So true. Jadams is one of the more child-like posters on MADB. He/she will probably never figure out how babies are really made, either, but we are taught that Jesus would like everyone to be so innocent.


What a vicious calumny against children. I'm sure Jesus would dispute innocence as having anything to do with willful and utter ignorance.

And to make amends the Romans co-opted the Christians and taught them the subtle art of persecution.


I'm not sure there's anything subtle about lions, but I suppose it's a matter of personal taste.

Harmony, don't take this as a snide remark, because I'm saying it in total earnest confusion: sometimes I can't tell if you're for the church or against it.

Help a girl out here? :)

Sometimes I'm for the church, and sometimes I'm against it. Depends on my own personal inspiration at the time. :-)

I guess I shouldn't be suprised. The females of this board hold 90% of the brain power.

Actually, the Branch Davidians hold the record for the most persecuted religion--and, therefore, the most true--since they lost over 95% of their members in one fell swoop.

No other religion can proudly claim such a high casualty rate.
